That\'s why in my previous posts I\'m suggesting that Canon should make the 7D in two flavors - one with lots of megapixels for those who like that, and another one will less megapixels and better ISO.
Like I said, you still don\'t understand this issue at all. \"Better ISO\", as you call, it isn\'t brought about by marginal reductions in pixel numbers.
If you took the G11 sensor and extended it to full-frame it would contain 292 Mpixels. A 100 Mpixel full-frame sensor wouldn\'t necessarily have worse low light performance than the 7D, but it would have latitude more like a very good point+shoot.
4-to-1 pixel binning would make possible a 40 megapixel camera with very crisp 10 megapixel sraw files for those who don\'t always want big files.
